List of genetic codes
While there is a lot of commonality, different parts of the tree of life use slightly different genetic codes.[1][2]
Notably the mitochondrial codes vary.
When translating from genome to protein, the use of the correct genetic code is essential. Other mechanisms also play a part in protein biosynthesis, such as post-transcriptional modification.
- Translation table 1: The standard code
- Translation table 2: The vertebrate mitochondrial code
- Translation table 3: The yeast mitochondrial code
- Translation table 4: The mold, protozoan, and coelenterate mitochondrial code and the mycoplasma/spiroplasma code
- Translation table 5: The invertebrate mitochondrial code
- Translation table 6: The ciliate, dasycladacean and hexamita nuclear code
- Translation table 7: Kinetoplast code: now merged into translation table 4
- Translation table 8: merged to table 1; all plant chloroplast differences due to RNA edit
- Translation table 9: The echinoderm and flatworm mitochondrial code
- Translation table 10: The euplotid nuclear code
- Translation table 11: The bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code
- Translation table 12: The alternative yeast nuclear code
- Translation table 13: The ascidian mitochondrial code
- Translation table 14: The alternative flatworm mitochondrial code
- Translation table 15: Blepharisma nuclear code[3][4]
- Translation table 16: Chlorophycean mitochondrial code
- Translation table 21: Trematode mitochondrial code
- Translation table 22: Scenedesmus obliquus mitochondrial code
- Translation table 23: Thraustochytrium mitochondrial code
- Translation table 24: Pterobranchia mitochondrial code
- Translation table 25: Candidate division SR1 and gracilibacteria code
- Translation table 26: Pachysolen tannophilus nuclear code
Note: Tables 7 and 8 are deleted. Table 15 is deleted, in the source but included here for completeness.
